funding-digest

Generate a polished one-page PowerPoint slide summarizing key takeaways from recent funding rounds and notable capital markets activity across a user's watched sectors or companies. Use this skill when the user asks for a deal flow summary, weekly recap, funding digest, transaction roundup, or capital markets briefing. Triggers on: 'deal flow digest', 'weekly funding recap', 'deal roundup', 'transaction summary this week', 'what happened in [sector] this week', 'capital markets update', or any request to compile recent funding activity into a briefing slide. Produces a professional single-slide PPTX with key takeaways, valuation data, and Capital IQ deal links.

Content

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a strong, actionable workflow with explicit validation checkpoints and copy-paste-ready code for the S&P Global and pptxgenjs pipelines. Its main weakness is redundancy: the Error Handling section duplicates the Entity Resolution rules, and some dense design/logo material could be offloaded to reference files.

Suggestions

Consolidate the 'Error Handling' entity-resolution entries with the 'Entity Resolution & Tool Robustness' Rules to remove the near-verbatim duplication (subsidiaries, alias mismatches, summary-tool fallback).

Move the full logo-generation pipeline (simple-icons + sharp code) and/or the detailed design specification (color palette, typography, table-centering math) into a references/ file, leaving SKILL.md as a tighter overview with a clearly signaled pointer.

Tighten the repeated brand→legal alias examples (Together AI, Character.ai, Runway ML) which appear in both Rule 1 and the Error Handling section — cite the seeds file once instead.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient and high-value (it documents non-obvious S&P Global failure modes and exact pptxgenjs patterns rather than concepts Claude already knows), but the 'Error Handling' section restates the entity-resolution rules and alias mismatches already covered in the 'Entity Resolution & Tool Robustness' section, which could be tightened.	3 / 5
Actionability	Fully executable guidance throughout — exact API call signatures with parameters, copy-paste logo pipeline code (simple-icons + sharp), pptxgenjs table cells with hyperlink options, explicit table-centering math with colW arrays, and exact output file paths and Capital IQ URL templates.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Nine clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: Rule 0 pre-validation, batch-and-triage loops in Step 2, empty-result fallback handling in Step 3, and a Step 8 QA cycle requiring at least one fix-and-verify pass before declaring done.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Good structure with a clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (references/sector-seeds.md, confirmed present) and well-marked nested-skill pointers; minor organization gaps because the dense logo pipeline and full design spec are inlined in SKILL.md rather than split into reference files.	4 / 5

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong: it clearly states what the skill produces, when to use it, and lists multiple natural trigger phrases with good synonym coverage. It is distinctively scoped to deal-flow/capital-markets briefings with minimal conflict risk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists several concrete actions ('Generate a polished one-page PowerPoint slide', 'summarizing key takeaways', 'compile recent funding activity into a briefing slide', 'Produces a professional single-slide PPTX with key takeaways, valuation data, and Capital IQ deal links') with only minor gaps in coverage.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (generate a one-page PowerPoint slide summarizing funding rounds) and 'when' ('Use this skill when...', 'Triggers on:') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive coverage of natural trigger phrases users would actually say — 'deal flow digest', 'weekly funding recap', 'deal roundup', 'transaction summary this week', 'what happened in [sector] this week', 'capital markets update' — with strong synonym coverage.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (funding/capital-markets briefings into a slide) with specific trigger phrases unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; minor overlap risk with generic 'weekly recap' or PPTX skills keeps it just below a 5.	4 / 5
